When will there be a peanut allergy cure?

Ways to get over a severe nut/peanut allergy?

• Im 17 and my allergist has told me that some people do actually grow out of a peanut/nut allergy, not all, but some. and apparently there are some treatments to like totally cure someone of this type of allergy? i dont really like the taste of nuts or peanut butter etc(believe me ive eaten them by accident and almost died a few times) but it would be so much easier to not always have to read labels, and skip desserts and foods and i think i could learn to like peanuts or cashews or almonds etc as a good snack.

• Answer:

  I also have tree nut allergies... but I've never considered getting it "treated" so I can't help you there. xD I also don't like the taste of them simply BECAUSE I'm allergic to them, so it may be the same for you. If you weren't allergic to them, I think you'd learn to like them - maybe even become addicted to them. (For the longest time, I avoided peanuts because I thought I would be allergic to them like I am tree nuts, but then I had one one day and I was perfectly fine! And from that day on, I ate peanuts pretty much... constantly. lol)
